It encompasses our ethical values, human capital, social contribution and governance approach. We position corporate sustainability as a core element of our strategic management framework, acting with a strong sense of responsibility toward the future while addressing today’s needs in a way that safeguards long-term security and prosperity.
Guided by our motto “Limitless technologies, secure tomorrows,” we continue our journey as a brand driven by innovation, quality and sustainability. Through our strong R&D capabilities and highly qualified workforce, we contribute to the development of Türkiye’s domestic and national production capacity, while pursuing our goal of becoming a globally recognized engineering brand representing the Turkish defense industry. In this context, sustainable growth remains one of our key strategic priorities.
We regard our human capital as the most valuable strategic asset of our Company and commit to managing all human resources processes through a fair, inclusive and competency-based approach.

Through continuous development, communication, motivation and recognition programs, we promote individual growth while reinforcing our strong corporate culture with a focus on high performance and innovation.
We believe that sustainability is only possible through strong, inclusive and resilient societies. Accordingly, we lead social responsibility initiatives that create long-term value in the fields of health, education, environment and social inclusion. By collaborating with public institutions, non-governmental organizations and local stakeholders, we transform our expertise and organizational capabilities into social benefit. We adopt a social contribution model that responds swiftly in times of crisis while generating lasting impact through recovery and development-oriented initiatives in the long term.

Across R&D, quality, digitalization, risk management and information security, we conduct sustainable, innovative and reliable business processes. By strengthening our digital capabilities, we enhance efficiency and make our processes more traceable and measurable, while proactively managing risks to ensure operational continuity. We position information security not merely as a technical requirement, but as an essential component of our corporate credibility.
We view innovation as the primary driver of sustainable growth. While addressing today’s needs through our solutions, we adopt an innovative mindset that anticipates future security requirements. We shape our R&D activities in line with Türkiye’s localization and nationalization objectives and the strategic priorities of the defense industry, placing the development of high value-added, domestic and national solutions at the core of our corporate responsibility.
To strengthen our innovation ecosystem, we collaborate with universities, research centers, start-ups and industry partners, supporting knowledge sharing and co-development models. Through these efforts, we embrace an R&D approach that contributes directly to sustainable development, considers economic and environmental impacts, and supports Türkiye’s national technology initiatives.
Within the defense industry, we address sustainability through the lens of strategic autonomy and access to critical technologies. In this context, we position supply chain management as a critical enabler of domestic capacity building, ecosystem development and long-term resilience. By increasing localization rates and reducing external dependency on critical components, we continue to future-proof our business and strengthen sustainable value creation.
